Over 15,000 participants joined the Go Negosyo Youth Entrepreneurship Summit last March 8 at the World Trade Center, led by (from left) Grab CEO and cofounder Anthony Tan, Department of Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez, US Ambasssador Sung Kim, Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship and Go Negosyo founder Joey Concepcion.

 

Our Youth Entrepreneurship Summit 2019 was a successful one, attended by over 15,000 participants who joined us at the World Trade Center, Pasay City. It was simulcast in 10 schools and universities, and the summit provided valuable insights on digitalization for both students and entrepreneurs. It was also graced by more than 30 different players in the digital space and techno-preneurs.

During the summit, I shared one important characteristic that every entrepreneur must possess. This is what we call, “The Yes Attitude.” The attitude that we call “Yes” is a positive attitude that must be possessed by anyone, whether you are a student, aspire to be part of the working group or one day become an entrepreneur. A positive attitude in life is what propels many people to become successful.

People like Anthony Tan and many of the summit speakers who started their own digital businesses are here today because they have that attitude and right mindset. Many of us sometimes are challenged with so many problems, but we must remember that problems are a part of life and it is how you look at those problems and turn them into opportunities.

Many entrepreneurs actually look for problems because they are where business models emanate. Hopefully you will learn and be inspired by them and one of these days, be on the same stage they are.

Here are some of the highlights from the biggest digital youth summit held March 8.
